Desafinado ( For Allen Ginsberg, et al.)   Through this state and on to Kansas more black than May’s tornadoes showering a debris of art — I saw you coming long before you came in paths of twisted fear and hate and dread, uprooted, despising all judgment                                                 which is not to say that the bourgeois should not be judged but by whom and by what, Junkies, queers, and rot who sit on their haunches and howl that the race should be free for pot and horney honesty?                                                 Which I would buy if a crisis were ever solved in grossness and minor resolve but for whom and for what?   I protest your protest it’s hairy irrelevancy I, who am more anxious than you                                 more plaintive than you                                 more confused than you                                 having more at stake an investment in humanity.                     —Malcolm M.
